Gladiator Helmet
Price range: $389.00 through $440.00
The Gladiator murmillo helmet, crafted from resilient 14-gauge steel, stands as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of ancient Rome. Its exquisite design marries both form and function, offering both protection and an awe-inspiring visage for the valiant warrior who wears it.
At first glance, the helmet’s distinctive silhouette commands attention. Its rounded, smooth contours gracefully flow from the crown to the base, imparting an aura of elegance and strength. The helmet’s symmetrical shape imparts balance and symmetry to the warrior’s countenance, inspiring fear in adversaries and admiration from onlookers.
The helmet’s primary feature is its interchangeable crests, a hallmark of the murmillo gladiators who wore it. These crests allow the wearer to customize their appearance according to their individual preferences and the demands of the arena. The crests come in two variations: a plume and an eagle-shaped ornament. The plume adds an air of regality, with its cascading, feather-like strands that flutter in the breeze as the warrior moves. Meanwhile, the eagle-shaped crest embodies the spirit of freedom and courage, evoking the majestic and fierce nature of the king of birds. With the ability to switch between these two crests, the warrior can adapt to different combat scenarios while maintaining a commanding presence.
The helmet’s brim features elegantly rolled edges that not only enhance its durability but also contribute to its aesthetic appeal. These rolled edges are a testament to the attention to detail and the level of craftsmanship invested in its creation. They serve a practical purpose as well, providing additional protection to the warrior’s neck and shoulders during combat, reinforcing the helmet’s reputation as a formidable piece of armor.

Description
The murmillo helmet, also known as the “fish-headed” helmet, was a type of helmet worn by ancient Roman gladiators known as murmillos. These gladiators were typically equipped to resemble Roman soldiers, and their helmet design reflected this. Here is a brief history of the murmillo helmet:
Gladiatorial combat was a popular form of entertainment in ancient Rome, beginning in the Roman Republic and continuing into the Roman Empire. Gladiators were often slaves, prisoners of war, or volunteers who fought in arenas to entertain the Roman populace.
There were various types of gladiators in ancient Rome, each with their own unique weapons and armor. The murmillo was one such type, known for its distinctive helmet and weaponry.
The murmillo helmet was designed to resemble the traditional Roman infantry helmet, the “galea.” It had a distinctive rounded shape with a crest running from front to back, and it often featured a visor that covered the face. The helmet was made of metal, typically bronze or iron, to provide protection to the gladiator.

I could not be any more pleased with this helm if I tried, it is perfect for the Murmillo kit I fight in.
I am impressed with the sturdy construction having stood up to SCA and steel weapons combat and I have no issues with vision or breathing.
A superb piece of artistry that I am certain will serve me well for many years to come.

Superb helm. Just took it off after fighting SCA. Very sturdy. The mass is good, as it absorbs blows very well. Breathing is great
Welds, rivets and finish are all to a very high standard. I’ll definatly come here first for my next helm.
